Summary "A Study of Pueblo Architecture: Tusayan and Cibola" by Victor Mindeleff is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on exploring and documenting the architectural elements, styles, and histories of the Pueblo peoples in the Tusayan and Cibola regions. It provides a detailed analysis of their construction methods, the ruins of their villages, and the cultural significance behind them. The opening of the study introduces the vast area of pueblo architecture that spans across the southwestern U.S., particularly the arid regions of the Tusayan and Cibola. It highlights the historical aspect of these pueblos and the scant remnants left by the ancestors of the present inhabitants, citing the persistence of traditional practices amidst foreign influences. The introduction sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of both inhabited and abandoned pueblos, detailing the author's fieldwork timeline and the collaborative efforts made during the surveys, emphasizing the importance of careful planning and documentation in understanding these unique architectural styles.
